Hayward is still getting his legs back together.

He has had bad moments, but in general, I'd think he will be fine.

He's an excellent cover guy in zone.

In nickel and dime they have been playing him at corner and having Tramon cover the slot.

That's getting to be the defensive convention around the league.

Have your best guy take the slant and cover the rest of the WR's in zone.

Wistian paranoia aside, I think Capers is lashing together an effective D this season.
